Research
We have now completed the RAKE awards for 2011. The initiative was, as ever, heavily oversubscribed with many excellent bids. Consequently, the review process was very difficult and we extend our thanks to all of those who contributed to the review process. We have been able to make three awards. Click title of project to view synopsis:
Dr Bob Doherty and Professor Steven Broomhead of Liverpool Hope University with The role of Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) in developing and improving the entrepreneurial performance of the social enterprise sector
Dr Isobel O’Neil of Nottingham University Business School, Professor Deniz Ucbasuran and Ms Holly Birkett of Warwick Business School with Career Transitions and Development in the Social Enterprise Context: Drivers and Support Requirements
Ms Nicky Stevenson of The Guild, Professor Fergus Lyon of Centre for Enterprise and Economic Development Research and Third Sector Research Centre, Middlesex University and Ms Michele Rigby of Social Enterprise East of England with Funding realities in The Big Society: examining the transition of traditional voluntary and community organisations to the social enterprise model in the East of England
We offer our congratulations to the teams involved and wish them every success with these initiatives.
